An engineering work that has taken
over o century to construct can hardly
fail to offer some points OF interest and
illustrate the march of events during
the years OF its progress. An instance
of its. kind is to be found in O tunnel
not long since completed, but which
was commenced over one hundred
years ago. This tunnel, or adit, as it
should be more strictly termed, is at
Schemnitz, in Hungary. It's construc-
ton was agreed upon in 177S, the OBJ
ject being to carry off the water from
the Shemnitz mines to the lowest part
of the Grau Valley. The work is now
complete, and, according to the Bau-
itltng fitr Ungey7l, it forms the
longest tunnel in the world, being
1927 miles long. or about ono mile
longer than st. Gothard, and two and
half miles longer than Mont Cents.
The height is feet 10 inches and the
breadth feet inches This tunnel,
which has taken so long in making,
has cost very nearly million sterling,
but the money appears to. have been
we'll spent-at least the present gen.
Grafton has no reason to grumble. for
the saving from being able to do away
with water-raising appliances amounts
to Sl5, 900 year. There is one further
point, however. worth noticing, for if
we have the advantage of our great
grandfathers in the matter of mechan-
zeal appliances they certainly were
better off in the price of labor. The
original contract for the tunnel, made
in 1882, was that it should be COM
pleted in thirty years, and should cost
81 per yard run. For eleven years the
work was done at this price, but the
French Revolution enhanced the cost
of labor and materials to such an ex-
tent that for thirty years little progress
was made, and then the work dropped
for twenty years more until the water
threatened to drown the mines out al
together. Finally the tunnel was COM
pleted in 1878, the remaining part cost
ing so yard, or more than three
times as much as the original contract
rate.-Engineering.

The problem of transmitting tele-
graphic messages without the use of
wires is one worthy of attention,
although but little progress has yet
been made in that direction. Some
time ago Professor Dolbear, of Tufts
College, exhibited telephone through
which articulate words could be dis
tinctly heard. even when it was not
connected with the line-wire. The
phenomenon was due to the inductive
action of the current transmitting the
words; and Professor Dolbear has re-
Gently published the details of q
method by which he can transmit sig
nails for a distance of half mile at
least, without the use of any connect
ing wire. 1t depends upon the same
principle of induction-the varying
electrical condition of the apparatus at
the transmit 'ng station, including q
similar condition at the receiving end.
Although the invention is yet only in
the experimental age, it may, if found
of practical application, prove to be of
equal Importance with that of the tele-
graph itself.

Sugar Sweetened to His Taste.

A story is told of groceryman OF
the shrewd old Yankee stock, who on
several occasions was surprised to find
sums of money in his sugar. Where il
came from was a mystery. 1t may
have been hidden by the slaves for
some purpose, but for what it would
be hard to say. The storekeeper, being
too conscientious to keep the money
without trying to find an owner, and
likewise being very loath to give it up,
hit upon this plan to satisfy conscience
and keep the money. Going to the
merchants of whom he purchased the
goods he inquired whether they were
responsible for the sticks and stones
that were in it.
mo, SIR" was the reply; "you must
take the regular sugar as we received
it. We are not responsible for any
thing in the barrels"
1t is needless to say that the store.

neatness are essential to our comfort as

throws down his cap or book anywhere
will never keep his accounts in shape,
will do things in slovenly, careless
